Drawn by the spiritual grandeur of the Maha Kumbh, a group of 68 Hindu devotees from Pakistan’s Sindh province arrived in Prayagraj yesterday and took a holy dip at the Sangam. According to the UP Information Department, the devotees performed rituals at the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati, offering prayers for their forefathers. Mahant Ramnath, who accompanied the group, said they had first visited Haridwar, where they immersed the ashes of their ancestors and performed rituals before



coming to the Maha Kumbh.

Speaking to the media, the pilgrims expressed gratitude to the Indian government for issuing their visas quickly, enabling them to take part in the spiritual event. The devotees praised the event’s organization while sharing their joy at visiting various camps and meeting spiritual leaders present at the Mela. They expressed hope that the Indian government would continue to grant visas to devotees from Pakistan.
